* * *quechua, quichua♦ adjQuechuan♦ nmf[persona] Quechua♦ nm[idioma] QuechuaQUECHUAQuechua is an Amerindian language spoken by more than eight million people in the Andean region. In Peru, something between a quarter and a third of the population use Quechua, and the position in Bolivia and Ecuador is similar. It is also spoken in northern Chile and Argentina, and southern Colombia. Quechua was the language of the Inca empire, so the variety spoken in the Inca capital of Cuzco was the most important of its many dialects. The number of speakers declined dramatically in the centuries following the Spanish conquest, but in more recent years there have been official attempts to promote the language. As with the Aztec language Nahuatl, many Quechua words passed into Spanish, and on to many other languages. For example, in English we find “condor”, “jerky” (n, = dried meat) and “quinine”. -
4 ayate
(Sp. model spelled same [ajáte]< Nahuatl ayatl 'thin cloth made of maguey fiber')Glossed by Carlisle as a square or rectangular piece of plaid cloth used to carry diverse items by southwestern Indians. It was fashioned into a sling and served to transport pottery, foodstuffs, and other things. The term is referenced in the DRAE, DM, and VCN. All three Spanish sources say that the term refers to a woven fabric made of maguey fiber used as a sort of bag to carry fruit and other items. The DRAE indicates that the fabric could have been made of palm fibers, henequen, or cotton. Buckaroos who resided in Indian territory likely would have seen this artifact and known its name. -

A primitive hut or shelter, especially one owned by a Mexican or Indian. The OED describes it as a hut built of poles or stakes plastered over with mud. It also indicates that such huts are common in Mexico and the Southwest. The DARE notes that the term may also refer to the method or material used to construct such a hut. It is referenced in the DRAE as a term used in Mexico for a hut or hovel. Santamaría adds that it commonly refers to a hut made of adobe, with roof made of straw or thin strips of wood.Alternate forms: hackel, jacel, jackall, jeccal. -
6 teguas
(Sp. model spelled same [tégwas] < Náhuatl tehuan 'that which accompanies others')Bentley: 1889. Originally, lightweight rawhide ankle-length moccasins that lace in the front. Santamaría indicates that this term may be spelled various ways in Mexico ( teguas, tejas, tejuanas, texas), and refers to a nation of Indians that inhabit Baja California and New Mexico (in English, Tewa). The term was subsequently generalized to other footwear, such as huarache sandals used by the Indians. The sandals are now worn by others besides the Tewa Indians and the term is known throughout northwestern Mexico. Sobarzo indicates that the sandals were worn by the Apaches. He suggests that the name comes from a Sonoran Indian language, possibly from the Cahita word begua 'leather; calfskin.' Islas notes that the sandals are worn principally by peasants, especially those in Chihuahua, Mexico.
